A New Zealand charity, Auckland City Mission, has issued an urgent recall after discovering that it unknowingly distributed pineapple sweets containing potentially lethal amounts of methamphetamine. The sweets were anonymously donated in a sealed branded package and were included in food parcels. The situation came to light after the sweets tested positive for meth, leading to the hospitalization of a child and teenager who consumed them. An investigation has been launched by New Zealand authorities to address the incident and prevent further distribution of the contaminated candy.
